newbie to web page design, need advice

I'm relatively fluent in PC's but have no experience building/setting
up web pages. What is a easily understood web page software to start
with. I'll be using the space provided to me by my Cox subscription so
will have only 10Mb to play with.

I was/ am in the same position as you.
I have dreamweaver..... Well theres a story behind that
Seriously, i nearly kicked my PC into touch trying to figure it out. I
never read instructions by the way.

I do have an Office package which has frontpage. I found that very useful
and had my website online with 1 hour.

I am now slowly learning how to use dreamweaver. It is very powerful, but
can be complex

Hope this is of use

I really like Dreamweaver MX. FrontPage is a good start. Everything is
done with wizards. Lot of templates for FP are available. Check
Google for some web editors as well.

Easy because it's so bad, crap, useless, pile of junk.

Learning HTML from Notepad is far easier than getting used to the
learning curve needed by Dreamweaver and Frontpage. The basic HTML
skeleton is simple:

<html>
<head>
<title>Title Goes Here</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Try typing text between the BODY tags and save the text document with
an htm or html extension...then you're done -- everything else is just
embellishment. There are plenty of good tutorials on the net (hope you
find that book).

FFS try replying to the people who ask questions, not to those who reply.
And if you continue to reply with ads to the products you sell, you are likely
to get reported for spam.
